You take a cab to eat something in town. You stop near your favorite place and call your best friend. You go to the bar and see they have a vacancy. You decide to ask the bartender if they still need someone.
“Sure, I could really use the help. You can start tomorrow. What’s your name?” The bar lady asks.
You now have a chance to reinvent yourself. You should pick something you like and new.
“I'm Anne. Thank you, I’ll be here early tomorrow.”

person in your seat to move but they are rude! You turn to leave when you hear

Your friend arrives and you spend the rest of
the night drinking and dancing. When you finally leave you realize you have
nowhere to go. Your friend offers you the guest room till you get on your feet.
You arrive early for your first day of work. You learn quickly and before you know it, you’re making loads of tips! The bar becomes busy. You turn to take the next person’s order when you see the guy from last night. He gives that knee-melting smile and asks:
“Time for a break?”
“It’s so busy.” You reply but, when you look at your boss, she waved you off. You see a small vacant table, but the music is too loud.
You now have the perfect opportunity to get to know him, will you...
He takes your hand and whispers in your ear,“Let’s go somewhere quieter.” He takes you to a restaurant with mouth-watering smell. You talk and eat and get to know each other.
You sit with him at the small table. You try to
talk but you can’t hear each other over the loud music. He leaves and you just
hope you get another chance!
Later that night, there were only a few customers. You start packing up. You hear someone come in and it’s your ex! You look around to see the cute guy is still around too! There’s only enough time to talk to one guy. Will you...?
You decide to go for Mr. Dreamy to get away from your ex. You went to the beach with him. It’s quiet except for the sound of the waves. He leans in and kisses you gently. You instantly know you’re in trouble. He must have seen the doubt in your eyes. He moves away and you feel relief and regret all at the same time.
You return to help to clean up and leave for the night.
That slimy snake got the nerve to bother you at work?! You march over to tell him to leave. He suddenly hands you flowers. You have always been classy. It won’t help to make a scene anyway.
“Why are you here, Ivan?” You ask the rat.
“You don’t have your daddy’s protection anymore. You will need someone to take care of you.” Ivan said with a bigger smile.
“I want nothing to do with you.” You say and leave. You hear him laugh and say,“You will change your mind, sweetheart, and when you do, I’ll be waiting.”
You help clean up and leave for the night.
You step outside and a man approaches you.“Your father asked me to check on you. I think it would be best to come home. He had to choose him or he would have lost everything.”
“I don’t care, Uncle Frank. He could have told me that.” You say still hurt.
“You aren’t safe here, kiddo.” Uncle Frank says with a frown. He had never let you down before. You could just head home ang give him time. Will you...?
You discover that your new boss and the cute guy are one person! Furthermore, his surname is Angelo... Your family’s bitter rival.
As you walk home, a car swerves and tries
to hit you. Men jump out of the car and grab you. You have seconds to react. Do
you…
You stomp on his feet and you break free. You
run and make it back to the bar and your apartment. You forgot the key but you
could go to one of the houses nearby. What will you do to save your life next?
You panic and let the man take you. Just as he is about to put you in the car, he bumps his head. You take your chance and run. You see a park nearby and know you could make it if you run fast.
You see a few houses with lights on and the park. You hear people’s voices and hope you make it in time. You hear the man scream after you as his footsteps sound closer until you...
You run fast and scream as you go. People start to notice and the man backs away. You made the smart move and might still make a good boss.
You run towards one of the houses but nobody is
home! You get to the next house just in time. The dog jumps on the man and
gives you time to run to the park. Thinking like that you won’t make it from
under your father’s wing.
The next day, Ivan is sitting at one of the tables. You had enough of this! He is just irritating you, and you know he had part in your attack!
“You can’t kick your own boss out, can you, sweetheart?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” You say getting tired of his games.
“I bought this establishment earlier.” Ivan says.“That pretty boy Jacob sold it to me to keep you alive. Man, he really likes you.”Ivan walks off. You don’t even know his name and he gave it all up for you! You could cozy up to Ivan and run this place or, you could help Jacob get it back. Time to choose. Will you…
